The Auburn University Bands lost one of its finest members on Tuesday, November 10th, when Sarah Anderson tragically lost her life in an automobile accident on Interstate 85. Sarah was a piccolo player in the Auburn University Marching Band and Symphonic Band.
"It’s a tragic loss, particularly when she was so young and full of vitality. Sarah Anderson was the epitome of the Auburn Band student–dedicated, hardworking, self-motivated. She always maintained a positive attitude no matter what the situation. Smiles always brightened her face, just as she brightened the lives of everyone around her. She will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with the family at this time."
